2014Q3 Reports: Publicity Chairs

As publicity chair, I am responsible for reaching out to ACL membership and potential conference attendees to publicize any and all information related to ACL 2014. This year, the conference website is run by David Yarowsky, and I took responsibility of publicizing the conference via other media; namely, email and Twitter. This is the first year we have had an official conference twitter account.
